LiveCycle ES2 has been out for a bit now and there have been many vast improvements to software that have caused a few programmers let out a sigh of relief. Just to name a few of my favorite new features:

• Assign Multiple Tasks
• Action profiles
• Able to invoke a process using the REST pattern
• Integration of the Adobe Data Model

These are just a few of the improvements that have made developing in LiveCycle easier.

However I have noticed a slight little irritation. In my excitment, I proceeded to create archives of the processes that I had in my LiveCycle ES server and imported them to the newer LiveCycle ES2 (to be able to do this you must make sure to have selected the option when installing LiveCycle ES2). The import worked fine, my processes were available to invoke….however I could not fetch my process to alter it and take advantage of the new features! Unfortunately simply importing the LCA does not allow you to change the processes. Luckily there is a detailed document out there that describes what to do;
